Find Adult Autism Care Near You

Hi there, I’m Cheryl Gardner, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health. I’m based in Atlanta, but I’m proud to offer virtual therapy services across California, Georgia, New Jersey, and Florida, which allows me to connect with clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences.What truly drives me as a provider is helping individuals discover their authentic selves. I’ve spent much of my career supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and identity challenges, and I’ve witnessed the transformative power of self-awareness and self-compassion. What I love most about this work is the ability to create a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their emotions and navigate life’s challenges.I specialize in working with adults, particularly women and neurodivergent individuals, including those on the autism spectrum. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a deep belief that everyone has the potential for growth, healing, and fulfillment. I believe in meeting my clients where they are, helping them honor their experiences, and supporting them as they develop the tools to thrive, not just survive. Outside of therapy, I’m passionate about building communities of support through my self-awareness movement, ‘Discover, Embrace, and Evolve.’ It’s all about helping people step into their full potential, embrace their uniqueness, and live with purpose. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they embark on their own journeys of transformation, and I truly believe that no matter the challenges, healing is always possible.

Welcome! I'm so honored to be able to meet and work with you. My name is Dr. Margaret Feerick. I began my professional journey in education deeply appreciating the power of experiences in shaping individuals. That led me to complete my doctorate in developmental psychology with a focus on the role of personal relationships in helping individuals coping with trauma. I soon discovered my passion in working with people rather than studying them, and I completed a clinical psychology respecialization program to pursue clinical practice. Now I apply my training as a developmentalist, researcher, and clinician to help clients understand their own strengths and challenges and to identify evidence-based supports for and with them. I currently live in Maryland, and I am licensed in MD, DC, VA and PSYPACT participating states.
